Sitting awake right into the night
Wondering if words would make things right
Scribbling thoughts coming to my mind
Plastering over the faulted lines
Throwing away all the in-betweens
Hoping you won't see what I really mean
Polishing dirt 'till it sparkles clean
Maybe then it'll help you see
All of this is just a worn-out act
Pushing at doors that always seem to push back
Say that I'm counting but I've lost the track
Letting you go but picking up the slack
Hoping today is the day you'll reach out
Casting a line and cast away my doubt
I'll sing in a song but I want to shout
The pressure is building I'm about to blow out
Wish I had one more shoulder to cry on
Wish I could be the one you rely on
But I'm only (human, human)
Just like you (human, human)
Wish I could be the one you confide in
Wish I could be the one that you hide with
But I'm only (human, human)
Just like you (human, human)
I'll cut the cords that held me down
Trade for a smile I'm done with this frown
Start kicking my legs won't just float or drown
I'll take on the small and work for profound
Look for the good in the mundane stuff
Start to believe that I'm good enough
Hardships are hard, but man am I tough
I'll challenge beyond and I'll reach above
Start taking this thing on day by day
Always believe there is another way
Wash over with colour what I thought was grey
And say the things that I was scared to say
Open on up to possibility
Begin to explore my capability
Aim for the best me I can be
But hope through it all that you can see
Wish I had one more shoulder to cry on
Wish I could be the one you rely on
But I'm only (human, human)
Just like you (human, human)
Wish I could be the one you confide in
Wish I could be the one that you hide with
But I'm only (human, human)
Just like you (human, human)
Maybe this is just the way things are
Save up your funds and you'll get far
Smile through the pain and cover up your scars
We can kill off the planet 'cause we'll go to Mars
But time can make the best in all of us
It can rebuild our hope and instil new trust
When it comes to each other we should all discuss
A way to encourage, support, and love
Wish I had one more shoulder to cry on
Wish I could be the one you rely on
But I'm only (human, human)
Just like you (human, human)
Wish I could be the one you confide in
Wish I could be the one that you hide with
But I'm only (human, human)
Just like you (human, human)
